EAMT 2027 Call for Papers, Workshops and TutorialsEAMT 2027 Call for Papers, Workshops and Tutorials

The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) invites proposals for papers, and workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with the EAMT 2027 conference taking place in Barcelona, Catalonia, from 3 to 6 May 2027 with workshops and tutorials to be held on 6 May. We solicit proposals in all areas of machine translation, including LLMs applied to translation, computer-assisted translation technologies, spoken language translation and related topics.

Call for Papers

Important Dates

All deadlines are at 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth).

The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) invites everyone interested in machine translation and translation-related tools and resources ― developers, researchers, users, translation and localization professionals and managers ― to participate in the 27th edition of the EAMT conference.

Driven by the state of the art, the research community is invited to demonstrate their cutting-edge research and results; professional MT users – to provide insights into successful implementation of MT in business scenarios as well as implementation scenarios involving large corporations, governments, or NGOs. Translation studies scholars and translation practitioners are also invited to share their experience with MT.

Note: Papers that have been archived in arXiv can be accepted for submission provided that they have not already been published elsewhere.

We expect to receive manuscripts in these four categories:

Research: Technical

Papers should be anonymized and submitted as PDF files through the EAMT 2027 EasyChair conference management system, selecting the appropriate track.

Submissions (up to 10 pages, plus unlimited pages for references, appendices and a sustainability statement) are invited for reports of significant research results in any aspect of machine translation and related areas. Such reports should include a substantial evaluation component, or have a strong theoretical and/or methodological contribution where results and in-depth evaluations may not be appropriate.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Latest advances in MT and translation technology
• Recent advances in LLMs focusing on translation and other cross-lingual tasks
• Model distillation, compression and optimisation of MT technology (including LLMs)
• Efficiency improvement and MT with low computational resources
• MT for low-resource languages and varieties (including historical languages)
• Few-shots adaptation and pre-trained MT systems
• Data augmentation, RAG and in-context learning for translation
• Comparative evaluation of MT systems
• MT quality estimation and evaluation techniques, metrics, and evaluation results
• Novel evaluation metrics and evaluation strategies, especially focusing on LLM-generated translations
• Interactive and real-time adaptive MT systems
• Hybrid MT systems
• Ethical, privacy and environmental considerations related to the use of MT technology
• Advanced MT fine-tuning and enhancement: including pre- and post-processing; controlling style, tone of voice, gender
• MT in production scenarios, use-cases, robustness and deployment challenges and solutions
• Technologies for MT deployment and use in professional translation settings (CATs, TMSs, etc.)
• MT for multiple modalities (speech, sign language, video, etc.)
• MT for real-time communication (chats, social networks, etc.)
• Linguistic resources for MT: corpora, terminologies, dictionaries, etc.
• Related multilingual technologies: natural language generation, information retrieval, text categorization, text summarization, information extraction, optical character recognition, etc.
• Source text improvement: improving the source content destined for MT through automatic tools such as grammar correction, guidelines, and NLP

Workshops and Tutorials

Workshops are intended to provide the opportunity for MT-related communities of interest to spend focused time together advancing the state of thinking or the state of practice in their area of interest or endeavour. The aim of a tutorial is primarily to help the audience to develop understanding of specific technical, applied, and business matters related to research, development, and use of MT and translation technology. Presentations of specific technological solutions or systems are welcome, provided that they serve as illustrations of broader scientific considerations.

Workshops are generally scheduled as full-day events, although half-day workshops are also possible. Tutorials are scheduled as half-day events.

Important Dates

• Proposal submission deadline: 10 November 2026

• Notification of acceptance: 25 November 2026

• Proceedings of the workshop: 25 April 2027 (to be compiled by the workshop organisers)

• Abstract deadline for tutorial organisers: 10 April 2027

• Deadline for sending tutorial materials: 26 April 2027

• Workshop/Tutorial date: 6 May 2027

• Author registration opens: 1 April 2027
